I have in several late conferences with the Shawnese, Delawares, Kika poos, Soos, Saues, Jaways,. &c. declared the Osage nation no longer under the prOteetion of the United States, and set them at liberty to adjust their several differences with that abandoned nation in their own . way, but have - prohibited their attacking them ex cept with sufficient force to destroy or drive them from our neighbourhood. The White Hair, the great Chief of the Qsages, is now. with-me ;• he has found it impracticable to govern his nation, and he has therefore - repaired to this place for protedion:— The traders have been ordered to leave their vil lages, as have also the hunters and all other white persons to quit their country; a considerable number ,have already arrived, 'And the others are daily• ex- peeled. Under these circumstances I. hope you will admit the Indians in your territory to take their own measures for attacking the 'osages. It is possible that part of the militia of . Louisiana will be employed on this service. The expedition will move about the loth of September. AcCept the. assurances of my most friendly regard. MEBIWifETHER " His Excellency Wm. H. Hanitlsull, 'Governor of the Ten itory of InOiAana. ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, 'Observing in. that Morning chronicle of •the gth the substance- of a Memorial intended to be pre sented to our beloved Sovereign from the Captains and Subalterns of the Army, setting forth the length of their . services, &c. ant willing to allow the hardship of their case calls loudly for redress, and I • have no. doubt but 'his. Majesty will cundescend to take it into his most gracious considewion l ; but there is another branch whose gallant and highly meritorious servir# have been universally felt and acknowledged, and .which, next to the Navy, must be considered the most useful body of men under . the Crown—l allude to the Royal Marines. In that Corps, promotion has for these last forty years been - most miserably slow. On perusing the List, I find the first ten senior Captains to- be of nI it.ss thween years standing ; the next thirteen are of twelve years standing, after being seventeen, or perhaps nineteen, years Subalterns ; so that after a faithful and bard service of Mir:(y-two years, %se find them still Captains, a rank which every boy who not,v enters the service, with either interest or cash, confidently looks up to in three or four years, nay sometimes cursing the regulations of the Army, which doom him to remain two years without a Company ; is not this truly mortifying I next proceed to the Subalterns : I find the first thirty to have been twelve years in the service, and as low down as one hundred to.have been up wards of ten years. Is there then a Corps under the Crown that can produce Officers of such standing, - unless it may be some individuals Who havegone on . half pay for a time, to suit their own convenience, and come in again ; but such men can have no claim. We all well know, from the nature of the Marine service, much hard fighting must be. seen, and they have likewise to contend with all climates. It is their slow promotion, and • that alone, which deters so - many young men from entering into it. • But the time, I trust, 'is not far distant When those who have -- so gloriously shared in all the tri umphs of the Biitish Navy, will be placed on a bet ter footing. The Noble Lord who prosides at the Admiralty, has already made great alterations in their favour, which, with nis-attention•to every department of the service under his jurisdietion, must .ever refiett the highest honour on him—in him Inuit ever finds a ready reward, and long may he continue to fill that high office with honour to himself and advantage to his Country, is the wish of the Navy in general.

On Friday, a wonni.n on 'board a ship in Shields harbour, whose husband was mate of the vessel, left her child sleeping in the Cabin, and went upon deck, where she had only remained a few mituates ere the child's screams caused, her to return, when, shock ing to relate, she found two ferrets devouring the flesh of her infant's. face, which they had mangled in a dreadful manntr about the cheeks and eyes.— These cre.titres v. ere kept for the purpose of 'de otroying rats. On Sunday last, a. young girl belonging to the Close, in this town, fell from one of the quays con tiguous thereto into the Tyne, and was drowned. 'I. tie London I:Newspapers have - certainly been I, ,, Gxed- with respect, to the shock of an earthquake innoiuici:d to have Leen felt in this neighbourhood On the ult. 1 i.e first account we had of it was in thei; - diurnal Joufl:als. GLOUCESTER MUSIC MEETINSI. We inserted some account of this festival, but as it is founded on the tnoct laudable principles, we give the following partictflats ot_ its excetlence-abd benalcial result : _ This Festival'commenced on Wednesday se' [might, when a most excellent Sermon was - preached at' the Cathedral, by the Rev. John Probyia, (one of the Stewards,) trom.Psalm xcviii. 5, 6—" Sing, rejoice, and giVe thanks : praise the Lord upon the harp ; sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving. - - Themusical 'performances on_ this and the tvk o fol lowing mornings, and those at the Boothall to, the evenings, were giren in the genuine spirit of the va rious composers, 'and attracted, as they merited, universal admiration. It is not easy to speak of Mrs. Billington's inimitable talents as they deserve ; ,vher powers are almost unbounded; and she sings equally well in every style. To be properly appre ciated, she must be heard; and her auditors evinced their delight at the Evening Concerts, where they could expreis their feelings, by reiterated plaudits. Messrs. Harrison and' BPrtletnan were extremely fe licitous in their various songs. The former charmed us with his fine taste and elegant style of singing; and the latter, being perfealy recovered front his long illness, gave his several songs with the greatest energy and feeling; indeed, we were glad to find his voice rather improved than impaired by indispo sition., Mrs. Vaughan, Mr. Goss, and Mr. Vaughan, sung all that was allotted to them in the happiest manner; and on the whole we may truly say, that more general satisfa&ion was never imparted op a similar occasion. The Concertos of Messrs. Cramer, Lindley; Parke, Mahon, and Holmes', - were greatly and deservedly applauded ; although we must again object to the great length :.to. which some of these performances are extended ; with the exception of Mr. Cramer; few of theM eMbrace much novelty; - and the grafting the various pieces upon new, or ra 'thee different airs, would prevent that sameness -which, by becoming familiar to the ear, abridges the rapture the astonishing powers of the performer would otherwise create. To Mr. MutloW, the Con ductor, every tribute of praise is due, for his admi rable arrangements, and jt4iicious condu& of the whole business, which went off whit a degree of facility that bespoke talents most happily suited to the very arduous task. Both the Cathedral and the Boothall tv,ere ciowd ed to overftp.ving at the respe6tive performances; and eihibited a most elegant display of-beauty and fashion. Seldom has this meeting been better at- tended. The influx of company from Cheltenham was very considerable ; upwards of sixty carriages having brought visitors from thence on each of the two last days. The' collection for the benefit of the Charity was extremely handsome, as will be seen by the following statement First Day &cold Day Day £i6t 1 7 19 S 0 2 37 1 3 4 ,£s9' '4 LE Besides several items, not yet paid u.to the hands of the Treasurers, which will make the, total exceed Jr.l Bartleman, besides his contribtition at the door, liberally gave five guineas to the Charity. • The attention of •the Steward% was politely di reded to every objet which could in any degree promote the accommodation of the company. John Paul Paul, Esq. officiated for Lord Duck, whose perlonal attendance was unhappily prevented by a recent domestiC calatni:y. The Palace'of tly! Lord Bishop of the Diocese, and the Prebendal,-house of the. Rev. Mr. Mitchell, were thrown open for the entertainment of suoly of the company as chose t o partake of their hospitality, each -day during th e Meeting ; and, for thi,s purpose, cards of invitation were very generally circulated. The following Gentlemen Were nominated as. Stewards for the next Meeting at Gloucester: John Paul Paul, Esq, The Dean of Gloucester. Thamas•Smith; Esq. Rev. Mr. Lysons. James Naper, Esq. Rev.

Lee, of Lewes.—The satne•Paper, , of Monday the 23d of May last, con tains the following additional tostimony:. Francis Markwiolt, of Barcowb, near this town (Lewes), village schoolmaster, and parish clerk, on last Saturday se'nnight, attended 'the Office Of W. Lee, and on being asked his business, answered bluntly; but with a- countenance full bi gratitude, that he was come to. coinamnicate a great cure, which Dr. TAYLOR'S REM.EDY for DEAFNESS had wrought upon him. Mr. Lee, in a very low tone of voice, desired him to proceed, when he affirmed that he had, for a long time,, laboured under deafness to a degree that compelled him to abandon his school, and to get a person to officiate for him as parish-clerk. But fortunately, at length hearing of Miss Fuller's case, as published in this Paper on the 4th of last month, he, by advice-of his _Minister, personally waited on that Lady, who lite rally confirmed the statement abovealluded to, and advised him to lase no time in the application of the remedy. He returned home, delighted with Miss Fuller's account, and on the following day procured a bottle, .by the use of which large portions of long accumulated wax (the obstru6tion to his 'hearing). were dislodged; and these the old Gentleman,prd duced, and exhibited with as Much exultation as if he had overcome all the ills of Pandora's Box: .The power of Heating bei-og • pettedly restoredi to him,. he Naas resumtql bo• h his school and paroc' Op.ly, t„the great relief and comfort of imselland —,We are informed that thii•esreetned Remedy is sold only retail by Mathews and Leigii, iB, Strand, •and wh,,lesale by Barclay and Son, 05,—Fleet -market.

Mr. Justice LE th.ANc and Mr. Justice BASLE.---The Calendar contains' Upwards of 140 cases, but there is none of any par ticular enormity. John Smith, Sarah Lefevre, and Catherine . Giles, were indicted, for assaulting John Wilts, on the King's highway, putting hiM its -fear, and taking froth his person a silk handkerctief, value 75. The account given of the transaction by the Pro secutor was as follows :---That on the 30th of July, about ten o'clock at night, be met the Le: feVre, who asked him to give her a glass of 'liquor. He- replied, a glass - of liquor was no object, and - if she was going his way he would give her one. He aftdrwards was induced to accompany her to her lodgings, which were in Spitatfields ; and he staid with her until twelve o'clock : when he carne out he found he had been robbed ) , and he- therefore waited in the street until some watchman should pass by ; he waited until near two in . the morning, and then he saw the Prisoner Lefevre, accompanied by Smith ansl Cat herine Giles,..Come out - of the house. He went up to Lefevre and accused her of having robbed him. Smith, the man, his, eyes, and.said the woman was his wife. The Prosecutor -replied, he did not care who she .was, she should be brought to justice. Upon which Lefevre exclaimed, " D—n him, take his handkerchief from him." He immediately received a blow, which knocked him down, and they untied the silk handkerchief which he wore about his neck, 'and went off with it. He knew the Prisoner, Lefevre, before that time, and he said he recognised the Prisoner, Shlith, afterwards among his fellow-labourers in the India Company's warehouse. • For the prisoners, a witness of -the name of Smith, stated, that going about twelve o'clock to look for her husband, she saw . the ProSecistor standing at that time without any handkerchief round his neck, and she added that Smith, the prisoner, aid Le Fevre, were both . bed before two o'clock.- , --The Jury found the prisoners—Not Guilty, Andrew Kingdom was inditied for breaking and entering the dWelling-house of Thomas Mann, in the day time, no person being therein, and stealing several articles of silver plate. The prosecutor; Who lives in . Redcross-street, \Vhitechapel, stated, that on the 21st of July he went out early in the morn ing before six o'clock, leaving no one at home. He returned about six o'clock with intent to open his shop. He found his key'would not turn in the door, and lifting up, the latCh the door opened. ImMe diately he entered the. shop two persuu' rushed past him, of which the prisoner was one ; he held a pis tol in his hand, but did' not offer him any violence. In rushing past him he was thrown down ; he called out, stop thieves," when the-other man gave him a blow on the head. - • He heard afterwards that the prisoner was stopped, and v.hen he went to the watch-house, he recognized him. Upon going into his houSe, he found the several artiCleS stated in the indiament had been taken out of the drawers, :Ind put upon the contaiar ready for taking away. The tarts of the two men being seen to go into the house, was corroborated by two woinun neigh bouri, and a man deposed that be stopped the pri soner, on a cry of stop •thiel,Verdiet Guilty, Sarah - Forecast was inditted for stealing several articles of wearing apparel from the apartments of Thomas Stone.—The evidence in this case amount : - ed only to' a case of suspicion, and the Jury ac quitted the prisoner.

SECOND• DAY-SEPT. 1 5. Wm. Green, a lad about 18 years of age, who was apprentice to Mr. John. Wheeler, of Holborn, glass dealer, was capitally indiaed for stealing a vast num ber of glass' tumblers, cans, smelling bottles, Bcc. the property of his master, privately in his dwelling house. When the Prisoner was called upon for his defence, he stated that he never sold or made away with any of the property, which was all found Con cealed; but that he was saving it up, in order that he might be enabled to set up in business when he should be out of his apprenticeship (in about two years time). As there was no proof that the Prisoner -took more than one article at any given time, of the value of 40s. under the dire6tion of Mr. Justice BAILEY, the Jury pronounced him Guilty. of the ' Larceny only. Charles Johnson, a young lad also, was capitally coavitted of robbing one John Sullivan of his watch. The Prisoier had enticed the ProSecutor, who was a sailor, into a house in Nag's Head-court, Drury .-lane, about five o'clock in the morning, and then robbed hin► and ran off. He pursued him witli poker, and coming up with the Prisoner, gave him a wound in the head, upon which the Prisoner ,broke away from the person who had hiM in custody, and, getting into a house, escaped upon the leads, and got into the workshop of a - Mr. Wood, a tailor,,where he lay concealed, and was not found• till two hours afterwards, when he was identified by the wound in his - head. The Watch was not^ found, but some time afterwards a watch►-case was found in a neigh bouring cellar, to which the Prosecutor could not swear.' Mr. SMI TH, Counsel for the Prisoner, endeavour ed to skew, in the cross-examination, that the Prose cutor, the Prisoner, and another, went all to drink to the lodging of a woman of the town, and that there was no robbery ; but the Prosecutor adhered to his first account, and was confirmed by many circum stances,.and the Jury found him Guilty.
